Review of Miss Jessie's Curly Meringue & Baby Buttercreme

So a few months ago I purchased Miss Jessie’s Curly Meringue
and Baby Buttercreme on sale at HoneyFig. I thought to myself, this is my
chance to try these products. I did some research and I found that Curlies
either really loved Miss Jessie’s products or hated them. I actually have mixed
feelings about them.

This product smells delicious. It has a wonderful lemon
scent that makes you want to indulge in a lemon tart, if that is your thing.
The consistency is thick and creamy. I
decided to use it on my freshly washed hair, after applying my leave-in. I made
sure my hair was moisturized and somewhat sealed before applying the meringue. God
knows I didn’t want any trouble, since there is mineral oil in it.

So I proceeded to use half of a finger-tip amount on each
twist. I was very happy with the light hold and shine the product imparted on
my hair. It felt soft and healthy.

After untwisting my hair, I was surprisingly very happy with
the results. I will definitely use this product again.

The buttercream smells like vanilla cake, which made me
happy. The consistency was very thick and buttery just like the name. I applied
the product the same way as I did the Curly Meringue. It went on damp hair
nicely and seemed to give it a little shine. Once the twists dried I unraveled them. When
styling and separating my twists I found that my hair felt brittle and dry.
Nonetheless I worked with what I got and tried to stay positive. By day two
my hair was in rough shape, very frizzy and super dry. On day three, FORGET
ABOUT IT!! I slept with my satin head tie as I usually do and found a humongous
mess. I was in shock! I would like to say that I did not treat my hair any
differently than I do with my other twist-outs, that usually last about five
days.

So I was in a little panic and almost late for work. I
decided to wet my hair to try to create a puff that appeared moist and shine. It
was a TOTAL FAIL. The water only made tons of white residue appear in my hair.
I had a small meltdown and then savaged my hair with a few twists in the front
and the rest was covered with a bean.

Needless to say I will not be using the Baby Buttercream
again.

Although, this was product did not work for me, it may have work for
you. Tell me about your experience and if you love or hate relationships with Curly Meringue
or Baby Buttercreme.
